架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个直截了当的办公室项目，直到我们访问现场。这位客户希望为他的汽车经销商公司设立一个总部，并将其设在客户拥有的一个商业大楼和展厅的第3层(针对一个特定的印度自行车品牌)。这座建筑位于胡布里市的主要商业街上。胡布里市是印度卡纳塔克邦的第二大城市，仅次于首都班加罗尔。在之前看过公司在班加罗尔的一个办公项目后，客户找到我们设计他们的总部，并希望在他们拥有的大楼的三楼建造同样的项目。当我们参观现场时，我们观察到三楼是另一幢G2大楼的较晚日期，并有一个相当坚固的柱子结构体系。

Text description provided by the architects. This was to be a straightforward office project until we visited the site. This client desired a head office for his automobile dealership company and the same was to be located on the 3rd level of a commercial building cum showroom (for a particular Indian Bike brand) owned by the client. The building prominently sat along the main commercial street in the city of Hubli (2nd largest city in the Indian state of Karnataka, after its capital city Bangalore). Having previously seen an office-building project done by the firm in Bangalore, the client approached us to design their head office and hoped to build the same on the 3rd floor of the building they own. When we visited the site, we observed the 3rd floor was a later date addition to an otherwise G+2 building and had a rather robust structural system of columns & deep beams, as we proceeded towards familiarizing ourselves with the site and its context, we realized the building had a terrace waiting to be explored – a well scaled metal structural frame with a temporary curved metal sheet roof functioned as a shed/yard to store “Bikes” and otherwise housed all the Building MEP services like Water tanks, several Air conditioning outdoor units, a Diesel generator, a mobile network tower…etc.

我们抓住了这个机会，向客户表达了我们想把这个“露台棚”改造成一个“露台办公室”的愿望，于是我们开始了一段旅程，去创造一个能让它的体积更大的办公空间，一个弯曲的胶合板屋顶，里面有小木屋、隔间和开放的工作站，布置在长长的阳台和郁郁葱葱的绿色露台中间，位于战略位置，以减少严酷的夏季阳光，并带来漫天的光线。

We jumped at this opportunity and expressed to the client, our desire to transform this “Terrace shed” into a “Terrace Office” and thus began a journey to create an office space that relishes its high volumes, under a curved plywood roof with cabins, cubicles and open workstations, arranged in the midst of long balconies and lush green terraces, strategically located to cut down the harsh summer sun and bring in diffused day light & breeze via full height doors along the East & West, allowing cross ventilation & peripheral “PAUSE” spaces that one can walk out to!

除了任何办公室通常所需的功能性办公空间外，这里的简要说明要求我们创造一个双重用途的空间：一个培训室兼会议空间，可容纳大约30名学员，而且还必须工作，使这一空间不能通过主办公接待区进入，而且仍然与主办公空间相连。理解了这个空间的简略，并且它需要有控制的光。

Other than the usual program on functional office spaces required by any office, the brief here required us to create a dual purpose space: a Training room cum Conference space for about 30 pax and the same had to be worked such that this space is not accessed via the Main office reception area and is still connected with the Main office space. Having understood the brief for this space and that it required controlled light & temperature, the most glare-free space along the North was chosen to locate this function. This space overlooks a lush green Terrace Café created on the floor below & functions as a leisure space to unwind, thus allowing a Work-Leisure balance.

胡布里有着美丽的气候-凉爽。

Hubli is blessed with a beautiful climate- cool & windy most of the year and given that the buildings here are small storeys, this Terrace office enjoys great wind circulation, thus ensuring a naturally ventilated office space, replete with mosquito meshes and fans. The use of air conditioning is limited to the extreme summer months of March-May. The addition of balconies and the deep metal curved roof overhangs, adequately shades the otherwise glazed façade and brings in diffused day light along with polycarbonate skylights punctuated along the curved metal roof, thus allowing the office to optimize day light, using almost “No Electricity” throughout the day in non-summer months.

是一个露台棚，容纳各种机械，电气

Being a Terrace shed that housed various Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing services for rest of this building, the task was to seamlessly re-accommodate these services across the building and make way for habitable spaces here.

空间本身-黑色的Cudappah地板(可供当地使用的黑色石灰石)、混凝土隔墙和胶合板门、胶合板工作站和弯曲的胶合板天花板，都是关于轻型…的。。阳光从天窗进入，穿过露台的绿色植物，突出了原材料的中性调色板。只读弯曲的胶合板天花板是很重要的。

The space itself – black Cudappah floor (a black limestone locally available), concrete partitions and plywood doors, plywood workstations and a curved plywood ceiling, is all about the light…. the sunlight that streams in from skylights, through the greenery of the terraces, and accentuates the neutral raw palette of materials. To solely read the curved plywood ceiling, it was important to carefully & discreetly suspend all mechanical services like A.C ducting, ceiling fans, a Lighting system- that explores a suspended floating metal structure with LED CAN lights, thus creating a subtle ambience of artificially lit space that accentuates the warmth of the plywood across the project. The office was occupied last year and they seem to enjoy every bit of openness and greenery they experience within their new space.
